Answer

21.99

Step-by-step explanation

Calculate first the annual dividend:

Year 1 = 1.46 x (1+0.12) = 1.6352

Year 2 = 1.6352 x 1.12 = 1.831424

Year 3 = 1.831424 x 1.12 = 2.05119488

Year 4 = 2.05119488 x 1.12 = 2.297338266

Year 5 = 2.297338266 x 1.04 = 2.389231796

 

Calculate the price at year 4.

Price year 4 = Dividend year 5 / (rate - growth rate)

Price year 4 = 2.389231796 / (0.13 - 0.04)

Price year 4 = 26.54701996

 

Price at year 0:

1)calculate first the present value of dividends from year 1 to 4.

PV of dividends = (1.6352 / (1+0.13)1) + (1.831424 / (1+0.13)2) + (2.05119488 / (1+0.13)3) + (2.297338266 / (1+0.13)4)

PV of dividends =  5.71193480426832 

 

  • value of the dividend from year 5 and beyond

PV = 26.54701996 / (1+0.13)4

PV = 16.2817845

 

Current share price =  5.71193480426832  + 16.2817845 = 21.99
